Brrrr! Can you feel that cold? One of the best ways to warm up after a day outside is with a mug of mulled wine or cider. And did you know the best way to make it is in the slow cooker as it gently heats the wine keeping the alcohol content while steeping it in the aromatic spices? You can come home from a chilly day out to a cup of this liquid warmth (which also smells wonderful by the way!).
